It’s hard for me to understand why a propagandist would be on the list to be killed. This is just my opinion with no hard data. I feel the majority of customers for the propaganda channel will not change much over time. While propaganda is useful, mostly it just reaffirms the customer’s already held beliefs without increasing the number of customers to the point where it’s a danger to the Ukrainian war effort.

If I had the “reach” to kill off such a target I think I’d concentrate on hurting the actual war effort. In every military related factory, I worked in only a small percentage of the workers actually made the factory productive. There were lots of people who just assembled widgets and they were interchangeable. But a small percentage of workers made things actually happen. An engineer here, a technician there...it wouldn’t take long to figure out who those people were and then send them the poisoned apple. In a 300-person workforce you could probably kill off just five or ten people and it would hit production hard. Russia is allegedly producing hundreds of drones. I’d hit the buyers and people who maintain the machinery. Or I’d find the guy with access and use him as the entry point for a cyber-attack. As little as a thousand dollars might do the trick. Or, some people are so resentful, they might do for free. At a General Dynamics plant a top-level manager opened his personal email and sent himself a spoofed message with a virus in it to his company account. Opening the message inside the system he managed to shut down the entire multi-company, worldwide network. So, sometimes finding the highly placed idiot is all you need to do. They’re amazingly common in big companies.
That’s where I’d be investing my intel network. Not in eliminating talking heads.

Maybe she started to question the narrative she was pushing.
